Patmo Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 It's been a long time but as I recall,Jess was a RB from Michigan State . A very good player . Paul Brown drafted him while he was in prison.Shortly thereafter(my guess is two weeks after the draft) he was released and became a solid citizen .Don't know what happened to him but you could call Paul the original redeemer.

I do remember that story, but I didn't know which player it was.

Lots of memories in there . Amazing how some drafts were home runs while others were a bust .I remember a lot of those guys and was surprised by their draft positions.
